17th birthday - i will never forget =]
- Tuesday, June 23, 2009 -
it has been a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful day
i feel so so so so loved =] really, REALLY, thank God for all the wonderful friends He's blessed me with!
it's been a long day XD english before school, and ISCF leaders after, but an unforgettable day XD
and yay ruth baked a cake for me! so touched, and it was really really really really really yummy XD got heaps of birthday wishes and hugs.. LOL at facebook. mmm and then learnt how to crochet during lunch! quite a normal day, really, until end of school XP
so there was leaders after school, and i kind of already knew diana was going to come (HAH diana you are terrible at lying. HAHAHAHA) but yeah i was so engrossed in crocheting that i kind of forgot (ronnie and tiff were both trying to teach me and i was failing. absolutely failing) but yes, and then cabbage suddenly tapped me on the back and gave me a start (actually, thank God he tapped me on the back if not i probably would've gotten a heart attack - apparently pansy and diana were planning to.. scare me) and OMIGOSH PANSY AND DIANA WERE THERE (looking all gorgeous and beautiful and lovely and awesome and wonderful. HAHAHAHA, only because i know you're reading this diana XP)
and diana had asked me before what i wanted for my bday, and i was like, no presents, but a bday card with a real msg would be nice! AND SHE DEFIED MY WISHES ><" but yes, talked to them before leaders started and then went to leaders and then went home. yay XD while lugging my presents
sorry, skimming through the whole day because i want to get to the present unwrapping after i got home (oh and btw no diana you weren't smelly. at all XP)
by the time i got home it was all dark, so sorry about the dark photos ><" i got home, and mum handed me mel's card! THANK YOU MEL SO MUCH SO MUCH! it's really touching how you still remember my birthday and you still mail me stuff after all these years! and there's always a "between you and me" sticker! one of the constants in my life these days, hahahaaha XP and yes, really, thank you so much because you're really really busy and you still take time to write and mail me a card, so thank you so so so so much and it's much much appreciated! <3
and yay i then got down to business.

cards mailed to me + THE BOX + awesome awesome pillow squidgy thingo. i shall name it soon! hahahaha

the box! it was smothered with post it notes and stickers. literally. smothered with them. oh, when pansy and diana came in the arvo they made me take out the box, and it was so sad cause a post it note fell off. and it was very cringeful trying to put the box back into the bag because i kept squashing the post it notes. ><"

mm i guess diana. firstly, it's your handwriting, and secondly, only you have such hyper emotes XP

yay and then i opened the box and started overturning all the contents (and making a huge, HUGE mess) card from diana!! (thanks so much!) and sorry, wasn't a very good photo but hidden under the card was this diary from morning glory =D

beautiful glass ornament! and it was a really really timely reminder, hahaha =] THANK YOU =]

i love this photo! the gingerbread man looks so ego. and it's so nice and soft and squishy! and the lollipop stuffed toy which has special meaning! (i can't believe i forgot and that pansy still remembered) see, i call chup-a-chups choop-a-choops. and pansy and diana have never gotten over it. so they gave me my very own choop-a-choop. XP

a mysterious package

which turns out to be an extremely weird bread imitation soft toy that looks like bread, feels like bread and omigosh SMELLS like bread and i want to eat it. T_T

awesome make-your-own-fake-chocolate-using-fabrics thing! hahahahahaha i never knew my obsession with chocolate was that well known. and soon i shall have my own fake chocolate as well! YAYNESS XD

this was a huge highlight of my day. 17 letters. OMIGOSH. i don't know whether to be touched or to cry or to jump up and down or to be shocked (that someone other than me would write a letter more than 16 pages long *coughs pointedly*) or to just swoon over it and be happy. i think be happy would be good. HAhAHA. and no, it wasn't JUST a 17 page letter. it was a there-are-no-page-numbers-so-you-have-to-work-out-the-order-yourself letter series. GREAT. luckily as i was taking photos everything miraculously fell into place. see how there's a letter in the top left hand corner of every letter? it makes up a sentence =] (and later i'd be surprised that this wasn't the first hidden msg i had to decode. bleah)

and yay this is the rearranged set of letters. "I wonder how long it took you to unscramble this sentence but know that we love you!" (yes i feel very very loved)
am currently up to the 3rd letter. and i'm amazed and speechless that pansy (who always refused to write letters to me) actually contributed 8 and a half letters to this.. project. wow.
and THANK YOU diana for the poem. it's not nice to make ppl cry on their birthday you know ><"

and the best for last. my own WISH JAR XD and you know, i really wished it was just that.. but then, anything from diana never is.. just that. HAHAHAHAHA. well, the post it note gave it away. but i really was only expecting say, 1 piece of paper hidden inside the jar. not this:

well yes this was AFTER i had taken every piece of paper out carefully with a pair of chopsticks (yes, i resorted to using chopsticks T_T) while not disturbing the other contents of the jar.
i freaked. i was like. IF I HAVE TO UNSCRAMBLE THAT I AM SO GOING TO DIE. T_T

but nah, diana is nice! she knows how much i can take in one day. so it's not really that much of unscrambling, just rearranging nicely and making sense of it. and i took photos of it because i'm never, ever going to do it again. too crazy T_T it took me so so so so so so long to fish everything out ><" and thank God that all the paper scrolls are empty. hahahahaha THANK YOU SO MUCH DIANA! love you very very very very very very much =]

and then i was left with the box. slowly and methodically i removed all the post it notes and put them all together in a nice square stack. and then i was left with the box, and it was covered with stickers. and i was like. hmmm, maybe i should do something about the stickers. so i painstakingly started peeling off every sticker carefully and putting it on a plastic sheet and i still ended up tearing quite a few (><" sorry diana!) but yes, i was so glad when i finished!

and THEN, i flip the box around, and i nearly died. T_T

and i just gave up. HAHAHAHAHAHA. so yes, it only has stickers on the bottom now.
but surprises weren't over yet for the day.
you see, mum already bought me lots of new clothes as bday present, and then normally that was it. kind of, hahahaha! cause i get a cake + she cooks all the food i love to eat, which is awesome already. BUTBUTBUT
YAY I HAD ANOTHER PRESENT WHEN DADDY CAME HOME (i sound like a 3 year old. sorry ><")

yay the card is so prettyyyyyyyyy =] and and the wrapping paper is pretty as well! (and there's diana's wish jar + some of the letters in the background)

AND IT'S A CAMERA. awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee =] yayyyyyyyyyyyyy!!! *jumps for joy* and so i used my camera to take a photo of my camera. sorry that doesn't make sense, but yes, cause the camera that i use is huge and bulky and not convenient to take to school etc, so yay now i have two cameras. AWESOME =]
mmmhmm enough ranting on my part.
now for the thank yous (to ppl who read my blog i guess XP)
